Microsoft Bundles Free Copy Of ‘Halo: The Master Chief Collection’ With $349 Xbox One

While it’s not the smoking hot of a deal that Amazon delivered to gamers late last month (Xbox One console, an extra wireless controller, and three games for $349), Microsoft is offering up a new Xbox One bundle for gamers that have Master Chief on the brain.

The new Xbox One bundle brings Halo: The Master Chief Collection as a free digital download. For those that need a refresher, Halo: The Master Chief Collection includes Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4.

The new bundle is priced at $349, so you’re essentially receiving four games for free. According to Microsoft, the Halo: The Master Chief Collection bundle will be available this month in “most regions where Xbox One is available.”

When Microsoft originally released Halo: The Master Chief Collection late last year, it was riddled with bugs. Microsoft and 343 Industries have worked overtime for the past few months to issue patches to resolve the issues and has even announced a few freebies for gamers to help put out the fires it created. With many of the issues now resolved, perhaps now is as good a time as any to bundle the game in with the Xbox One.
